Wore the harvest Ware reaping :tllo full fruition of tho orop, wo might hope soon to oecnpc iu worst cBocts. Rut the somts of evil have been sown broadcast in tho land, and each succeeding yoar, until a change is effected, will briug forth, wo (ear, a still more noxious growth. From tho highest pinnaclo of virtue and morality, step by step are wo descending tho ladder ol degradation. Hut such nro tho deplornblo consequences ol war. Tho evil effects ol revolution linger in its track long after it is past. Wo are slow to re cover from its deadening inllucuce upon our sen sibilities ; yet, with the recovery returns a sense of what has been lost, and the purposo to regain. .May we not hope that when tho people aro fully awakened to a senso ot nil they havo_ lost —the less than nothing gained; when they ahull bo brought to a realizing sense of tho Govern ment as it is, in contrast with what it was, that they will, through peaccahlo means, restore it to its legitimate sphere, in view of tho hideous do- formity it presents in the contrast ol Tiikn and Now. llUSSKI.U [rou Til* IKTSLUUSatKIl ] Then and Now, in reviewing tho past and present of this country, tho future historian, as ho glances over its progress and improvement—its rapid transi tion I Kim n savage wilderness to tlourshing towns lin'd cities, denoting tho higher typos of urt and civilization—its territorial expansion from sea to„sca and shore to shore—the wisdom of tho patriotic founders of tho Government, in the tattle principles on which they built the fabric ojf Suite—his mind will lie filled with admiration of the scene, and his pen with praise ol a system ol sell government instituted in harmony with the dearest rights ot man. But when lie turns to contemplate the changes wrought by the rapid transition from •a government the most liberal, and principles II,e most tolerant, to one in which every re served rigid is swallowed up in a central power—Hint power a despotism—lie will he applied nt tho tnclnuchblly spectacle before hiui, OS from the past ho hears tho mournful wail of the multitude over the grave oi their lost liberties. Of all tho governments over instituted by man for the safety and happiness of man, the Confede rate system was perhaps the most just, the most liberal in its provisions, and the most conducive to the great ends of government. Taking deep root in the soil of freedom, its infant .branches watered by the dews and rains of heaven, the sunshine oi tho universe wooing its foliage forth, with fight and heat, it grew and fed upon tho 'sovereignty of the people, its brandies waving triumphantly above tho parent trunk, even as the State above the Federation system—yet cacli to each a mutual dependency. Tho principles in which if was planted drew their vitality from the inherent rights of man. It lacked no balance, power in the scale of justice and equity, but on the contrary they were the music made sweeter by the order and harmony of its well adjusted parts. Homogeneous in interest, mindful of the well being of its several members—bearing no evil in its breast—susceptible of almost every good —heeding no Conflict of sect with sect, creed with creed, nor race with race, it was ordained without a parallel and created without a coun terpart. Producing no antagonism of section witlt section—no conllict ot opinion With opinion, so long ns it was respected in its peculiar rights— so long as Massachusetts invaded not the sanctity of South Carolina, and South Carolina did not .ignore the prerogatives oi Massachusetts—we repeat, so long as the peculiar privileges of each were observed—there was no treason in the na ture ol its inception, iu the design of its origin, in the fulfillment of its purposes, inr those fierce and l,liter strifes which at length have veiled the land in the darkness oi night. With the wealtli ot one section emptying into the lap ol anotlier, Whose commodities of cor responding value were given in exchange—the one nn agricultural, iiuollier a manufacturing, and anotlier a commercial, it did appear appa rent to the commonest reason that there was no just cause for those deadly antagonisms which lor so long a period have swayed with tempest- lury the public mind in its struggles to establish flic true theory and policy of government. But from forces as varied as they were conflicting, the elements at length were gathered to a storm, charged with Hie fury of the times. It came, bursting in blood and tears upon the hearts and iiomes of a once happy, a oncu prosperous and united people. It deluged the land. Us maddened currents swept the land-marks of the past away. And now, though many months have passed since the waters assuaged, the dove sent forth in quest oi the olive I,ranch, lias not returned. The prom ised bow spans not the thunder-cloud in token ot the covenant. The war of passion still goes on. Men, forgetful they arc such, revei in hatred of their fellow men. Mountains of gold and rivers oi blood have been spent, and lor wlial ? Not in vindication, but in the destruction of es tablished principles. Freedom lias been made tlie rallying cry ol slavery, liberty of despotism, mid manhood the degradation of its strength and pride. Under the delusion ol rescuing u princi ple from vandal hands, that very principle lias perished in the custody ol its pretended friends. That the government inis undergone an entire change, none will deny. We have seen Slate by State upset, their sovereignly detrboned, their vi tidily destroyed, and a imtioii new born, rearing ils bead above the wreck. Under the rallying cry of the Union, we have scon the Constitution trampled under foot, and its provisions set aside. We have seen vast armies invading Slate alter State, subjecting each in turn to the mandate ol the centralism. The Sonlli may truthfully ex claim to the North, “thou caus’t not say l did it.” The South simply proposed a re-enactment of the old form under the folds of a separate flag. She only sought a re-adoption oi the name Con stitution, according to the construction of that instrument as given by the wisest oi statesmen anti patriots. Tlio government was not over thrown; nor the liberties of the people Joopnrd- zied by the party seeking Hie establishment ol a separate government. Tlicso nrc the fruits of the opposing power. The people wore taught to believe the Union must he preserved at every cost. It was preserved—preserved at Hie ex pense of all its rights and immunities. Its form may lie intact, hut like a harp suspended on the wall whoso strings have been broken by the rude touch ol unskilful hands, it gives out no music in accord with Hie great heart ol the peo ple. It is tho ghost of its former self, stalking amidst tlie ruins oi the past, in mournful mummy of ils broken hopes, viewing tho ashes of its | cindered faue. J,ct us contrast tlie old with the new order ol tilings—the Confederate with the Federal system. Then we had a constitution ns the charter of our liberties; now the will of a Congress capricious as tlie wind. Thou our socinl, domestic and political systems were in uccord with tlie decrees of nature and God; now they subserve tlie had passions of had men. r l'lien we hail peace, fel- j lowship, lratcrnity; now discord, wrangling and alienation. Then we had wealth and prosperity; now poverty and bankruptcy. Then civil gov ernment knew no conflict of arbitrary or usurp ing power; now military dispotisms are planted all over tlie land. Then agriculture, commerce and manufactures flourished ; now they languish everywhere. Then taxation was a myth; now uu intolerable reality. Then agrarianism claimed no mouth-piece in lavor of its cuds; now it is i boldly proclaimed it necessity of partisan creed. ' Then tlie Soutli annually contributed three liun- ' dred millions in gold to tlie wealth of the coun try; now she is n pauper. Then tho North in- j creased in prosperity; now she languishes in tlie . stagnation of trade, her wealth Hie property of t the people. Then treasures hung on every side I 04 tho golden fruits of paradise; now Hie apples | of Sodom burden eacli brunch aud tree. Let ils strike a balance sheet and count profit and loss. We have increased ten-fold in debt, with n like ratio in poverty. Our circulating medium is nt the mercy of the mob, subject to lie cried dowu when the wratli of Hie people shall have been kindled against it. We have trans ferred the right of self-goverunent from Hie jieo- ple to a revolutionary Congress ; we have in n measure subordinated tho civil to the military authority; wo have supplanted virtue will, vice, morality with licentiousness, and religion with infidelity. The reign ol blood is succeeded by a reign of corruption and venality as threaten- Irull TUB lNTII.UOINOin.f Atlanta Coaalp. Your Sunday’s paper contains a couple ol par agraphs, truthfully styled "Gossip,” in which my nnino lias been freely used. Though it is sometimes thought best to pormit such allusions, especially when directed to a privato citizen en tirely disconnected with political affairs like my self, to pass by unnoticed. On this occasion, in consequence ot its having been intimated iu tlie paragraph referred to, that I “urged Gen. Pope to have Air. Hill arrested," I feel that it is incum bent on me to state that such an allegation only exists in tho imagination ol its fabricator, us may easily be ascertained by any one having enough interest to make the proper enquiry. It seems to allord tlie humorist ot the Colum bus tiu n great delight to revert to, as lie lias done more than once, what 1 must certainly admit to be a very small subject, my sizo. Had I known in time how facetious ho could become about it, and What were his views on physical dimensions, t might linvc lmd my proportions got up in ex act accordance with his standard. But one thing lie accuses me wrouglully of, in holding me re sponsible lor his now being compelled to go about Columbus with ids head under his arms! He imist have forgotten it may have been found too light to remain steadily any where else, a dif ficulty which, even ii 1 were in favor at court, I might not have been able to remedy; but il it ever can be remedied to such an extent, I will endeavor to keep space enough in one ol those capacious breeches pockets lie ascribes to me, to store him away with the other great men I keep there lor my personal convenience.

Pursuant to public notice, a portion of tlie citizens of DeKalh county assembled at Stone Mountain to day. Oil motion of W. G. Whidhy, Esq., Hon. John C. Ragsdale was called to Hie Chair, and Dr. John L. Hamilton requested to act as Secretary. On taking his seal, the Chairman made some well-timed and pertinent remarks, followed by addresses by Col. It. A. Alston and Judge Daniel Pittman. On motion of W. G. Whidhy, Esq., Messrs. 11. P. Woollen, A. J. Veal, J. N. Pate, W. I.. Gold smith, and Col. J{. A.

The following from flic New York Herald's Washington correspondence ot August 12, in relation to the cotton cast s before the Court of Claims, will be ot interest lo many of our rea ders : The Court of Claims met to-day, pursuant to adjournment. Chief Justice Casey and Judge Peck were alone present. In accordance with the letter of advice of Senator Cowan, the Soli citor of the court, under Hie instructions of the ,Secretary of tlie Treasury, moved for an appcul iu the cotton cases lately adjudicated upon. The court refused emphatically, Judge Peck slating that Hie refusal was made in accordance with tlie unanimous sentiment of all tlie members of tlie court. It is asserted that the Secretary of tlie Treasury will nevertheless continue lo refuse payment of the awards made by Hie court, in which case tlie claim of Cannalt, of Charleston, will probably again become a matter for tlie iu tercliange of diplomatic notes between Sir Frede rick llruee and Secretary Seward. It will lie re collected that tlie claim was referred by the latter lo tlie Secretary of tlie Treasury, who, under the advice ol Attorney Geueral Speed, sent it to the Court of Claims. That court awarded tlie claim to Cannalt, and to-day refused a motion of appeal to tlie Supreme Court. An INFAMOUS IfADICAl. PllAUD—Ol.D S'l'O- ki ics Hevampkd. The story started by tlie New York Evening Pont, and now going the rounds ol the Radical press, to tlie etlect tlmt two Texan planters refused "to go home until they had shot a negro,” mid did filially bring down an unlucky darkey whom they chanced to meet, is recog nized by tho New Haven I’egister as an old ac quaintance, it having first been published in an anti-slavery almanac, some twenty years ago, to illustrate flic prevailing cruelly of slaveholders f in South Carolina. “Afterwards,” says the Register, “it was located in ‘bleeding Kansas,’ and did duty for‘two bor der rnllians,’ who would not leave town until they Hart ‘shot a Yankee.’ It is an excellent bit of sensation stuff, but wo question tlie policy ol using it oitener than once in twenty years or so. The inventor ol the story was remarkable lor modesty, or for cunning—as lie has never taken out a copyright—hut it is passing strange that a man with a tliimblelul of brains could for an instant believe such a barbarous act could be committed with impunity in any part of this country. €orrci(ionilence ot the Wow York World.

Tim President decided to-day to issue nn or der relieving Judge Holt from his position nt tho Mad ot tho so-called Bureau of Military Justice, and granting him leavo of abscnco until some oilier place In tho army requires ids services. It was found that tho net ol Congress creating this htlico did notchango the usual form for removing army ofllcoiB, and as Holt did not come under tho Civil Tenure law, there was no other availa ble procedure to get rid of him lint to order him out of tho way. There is no little regret felt in Some circles that lie is not ordered to join his boon companion and esteemed friend, Hanford Conover. OUR NEW ACQUISITION. All of tho details tor tho transfer of Russian •America to tho United States were to-day com pleted. General Rousseau, tho special commis sioner, lmd a loug interview with the President to-day, and having secured the appointment ol revenue agent for tho new territory, will leave at once lor Sitka. It is reported here tlmt the Hud son llay Company are bringing large quantities ol their goods into Sitka front British America, in order to avoid tlie tariff. about secretary m’culi.och. Within a day or two an attempt lias been made to induce tho President to request Secretary Mc Culloch to resign. It is not possible to say whether any tiling will result from il. LAND OFFICE DECISION. in answer to an Inquiry. Commissioner Wil son, of tlie General Land Olllce, lms replied as follows: “ A widow having made a homestead entry and afterwards married, may continue to hold her homestead by maintaining the residence and cultivation of tlie same for live years from the date thereof, or, if she so elccls, she may commute the same under the Hlh section of tli law, by making satisfactory proof Hint all tli requirements ot the law had previously been met by her, aud paying for the land at the rate at which it was held at tlie date of tlie entry. PERSONAL. Mrs. Mary Walbridge, mother oi General Hi ram VValhridge. of New York, died yesterday alter a long and painful illness, at lngloside, Dis trict of Columbia. Hlie was among tlie oldest and most esteemed residents of Washington, and her death leaves a large circle of mourning friends and relatives. Lieutenant-Colonel M. Ralston Kintzing lms been relieved from the command of tlie marines at Mare Island, California, and ordered to the command of the marines at Philadelphia. TREASURY APPOINTMENT FOR SITKA. The Treasury Department lias prepared in struct ions, relative to tho collection of customs for tlie government, of William S. Dodge, who has been appointed a special agent ot tlie Trea sury and Collector at Sitka. He will sail on the 21st instant from New York, in the same vessel with General Rousseau. Thu Treasury Department in giving instruc tions to Captain W. S.

Dead silence, ensued. ‘‘One-ten," whispered tlie same voice with sup pressed oxeitonienl, as the while face disappear ed behind Hie linlf-milo post, and a pin could have been heard to lull on tlie grand stand as llie horse dashed info tho home-stretch, moving swiftly, hut without apparent effort, towards the goal. “Two-sixteen.” "Two-eightccn." ‘•Tivo-nipeteeii” (a long breath.-) “Two twenty-one—a hall," and a wild cry of lisappoiiilineiit went through tlie vast throng. ■frill! idiMifeiiai BY TELEGRAPH.

"Leo,” tlie Washington City correspondent of the Charleston Courier, in his letter dated the lHlii inst., furnishes the following items: 'l’lie Cabinet, at its last meeting, was entirely harmonious, and tlie rumors of a general rup ture are no doubt premature or entirely errone ous. U is now known Hint on some points there existed a difference of opinion between Poslnms ter-Goticral Randal and tlie President, and that a conversation between them on the eve ol Hie departure of tlie latter from the city, when he intended lo visit Europe, was by no means ol a very amicable nature. But Mr. Randal has re turned to his post, and the rumor of his inten tion to resign is not credited. Both Mr. Ran dal and Mr. Seward nre quite willing to put their respective commissions at the disposal of the President if he should desire it. The Democratic friends of tlie President have undoubtedly exerted some influence upon (In 1 " " New I-Inalaml IIoiimIn that Her Foot In on the Neck of Hie South ami Went anil the Ignorant and Stupid Dutch State.

The Radicals, also, have been pertinaciously hostile to Air. Seward, because lie lias consented to remain in Mr. Johnson’s cabi net, and lias approved of his reconstruction pol icy. The President himself is very willing to se cure Democratic support, upon the small con- dilion of a Cabinet chnngc. Blithe must look to llie Senate. That body will not grieve over llie resignation of Mr. Seward, but they will confirm no uominotion for the office, except tlmt of a very decided Radical. The President will not find it easy to fill the War Department. Tlie decided Radicals— Brooks, Andrew, &c., whose names have been mentioned—would not take the post under present circumstances. They would not cm themselves oil from the clianees ol preferment under tlie next Radical Administration; and tlie nomination ot only Democratic politicians would lie thrown sky high by tlie Senate. The suspended Secretary Stanton will pre pare, to meet before the Senate the President’s report lo that body, at tlie next session, alleg- ing against him “misconduct in office.” He wifi establish his claim to Radical support, and, under a Radical administration, lie may prolm- lily bn restored, or at least, vindicated. If Gen ml Grant should bo the next President, Mr. Stanton will have no reason to complain of any lack ot Executive confidence or preferment.

Y. World. Fawcett glanced at Dolile who merely cast up Ilia eyes and the owner ol the Trotting King quietly replaced his watch and sat down to await wlmt he now knew was to he tlie result. Meanwhile the unostentatious gentleman in a linen duster, and looking like a traveller whom, moreover, nobody knew, drew his time piece and rubbed his hands with satisfaction, saying nothing. It, was four o’clock when Dolile again ap peared on llie track with difficulty restraining his eager horse. As before, lien. Mace on Allen’s running male, drove leisurely idler him, and they rolled up to llie distance flag and turned for tlie second trial. Again the watch leaped to view and the quiet gentleman rose from his scut, while ten thousand people held llieir breath in suspense. The pace was already tremendous, as tlie horses went under the line and the watches ticked the start. “ Thirty-three and a fifth” at tlie quarter. “ One-seven," said the time keepers when the half was reached. In a cloud of dust red against tho sky, onward sped the Hying feet, With difficulty tlie excited crowd was kept from the track, tlie unerring watches swiftly marking tlie seconds as they Hew. “ Two-fell.” “ Two-fifteen ”—without a skip. “ Two-seventeen,” and the horse touched tlie shadow of tlie line and was gene like an arrow. A wild roar of applause swept up from tlie as sembled thousands and rolled away in silence us the crowd, leaping all barriers, rushed up to tlie stand to hear the oilicial decision, l’wo, seventeen and a quarter." Again and again the cheers went up; “Dexlcr,” “Dolile,” “Fawcett,” “The Buffalo Park," in fact, everything and everybody came in for a share ot tlie wild enthusiasm which would not he repressed. The pleasant gentleman whom nobody knew was by this time safe in tlie press slued, when Mayor Wells turned to llie audience, and look ing down upon the sea of upturned faces, said: Gentlemen—I uni pleased to announce to you that the magnificent animal whose triumph you have just witnessed has been purchased by Robert Bonner, of New York, lie will trot once more here and ouce in Chicago, and will then puss into the finest private stable in the world.
